Whats next for SSD?

So, we have M.2 drives that can run around 7000/6000(ish) speeds, is there any new tech on the horizon to improve speeds or is it now all about capacities and durability?

Personally I am happy with the speeds, I'd just like to see cheaper 4Tb, 6Tb and 8Tb NVMe SSDs start hitting the market.
No doubt it will happen it's only a matter of time.

Instantaneous loading/saving would be fast enough.

Agreed with the rest on capacities. Reason I ask is I want to upgrade to a PCIE 4 M.2 drive and wondered if there are any tech improvements on the near horizon. Otherwise will just get a 1 or 2 TB Sabrent

Yeah, sounds like a Sabrent is fine then and maybe a 4TB SATA SSD(Samsung MLC V-NAND seems ok to me?) to replace my last physical drive.

870 QVO says "Samsung V-NAND 4bit MLC", probably be fine for my usage.
